Title: Cooks a lot of stuff at one time
Review: Well...very easy to put together.I had to buy the griddle,stove and bbq box separately but it was pretty close to the price of the tailgaiter model so don't wait ...2 days delivery all 3..Griddle is kinda seasoned I didn't do much but spray it down after sitting in the sun with some some.pam..Wipe it down good a few times it'll be alright ....it's cast iron not rocket science...burners take some getting used to they go.out if your not watching...that's not unusual....I basically took this out of the box and 15 minutes later I was making bacon,brats and a baked potato...baked beans in the bbq box...I dont have an issue with the legs being uneven it sits in stone just wiggle it a bit.The hole in the griddle for grease to drain is in the left front corner...unless you tilt that way it will not drain...the back of the 14" griddle has a large trough catches all the grease from.the bacon I fried ..It's very easy to soak.it up.with a couple paper towels ....the hole in the front left just seems awkward I like the grease going toward the back leaves the food less oily.1 # of bacon is mostly grease .Just soak.it up.im the back and toss it in the trash what you dont want.Dont be getting all fancy with this thing it's a big ass propane stove you can use your own griddle ..cast iron skillets...pots and pans ...you can heat up the griddle and put pots pans and skillets on it.Mark the knobs might help to know where 350 degrees ....nothing below that cooks well ....that's the minimum...the bbq box is great for keeping stuff hot and made some awesome beans and a baked potato.Lot of folks complain about the wind guard but I have not got that issue.It is hard to see the burner to light it when you are set up...get the long lighter you hafta bend over and look from below if you have your griddle and bbq box on Pain in the ass. My only complaintI saw some videos of these with people using an infrared heat sensor to see what the temp.was....don't get silly it's a skillet and a oven in the simplest form if you can cook .....if you are you looking for a pretty basic stove that can don't all I'd say get this.one...No doubt I haven't used it much but after one time I find it to be durable and pretty well made...The bbq box is pretty awesome it is like a home oven and has a nice thermometer built in..actually quite a heavy item. You can use your own skillets..pots.pans with just the stove but the bbq box and 14" griddle are very nice....still working on the bbq box as far as what to cook...making baked potatos..Like I said don't get too fancy with this thing..it is a bad ass outdoor propane stove you can do anything with if you can cook .I bought the bbq box..14" griddle and the stove itself for 357$...camp chef did not have the tailgater which is the same 3 items...but seriously..if you have a propane tank you be 5 minutes and this thing is cookin...Definitely get the grill box...I give this thing thumbs up first day using it ....put it together 5 minutes....watch the flame ð¥ it goes up and down....go to harbor freight get some magnetic hangers hold yer stuff on the side for 3$.Definitely get the bbq box....u can use your own skillets and griddle and pots and pans..get the box...good stuff ð ð.

Title: Perfect purchase for a small propane grill.
Review: My husband and I wanted a nice grill to have that didnât take up too much space. We got this and we couldnât be happier. We are away camping and thatâs why we decided to get this. Itâs compact and sturdy! Itâs the perfect size and works so very well. Super easy to use and put together!! One of our legs came dented and the company sent us another one under their warranty. They responded quickly and were perfectly helpful. We are beyond satisfied. If youâre thinking of buying this grill, do it! The oh wonât regret it

Title: Makes Camping Easy
Review: Just got it after returning from a camping trip. The stove that comes with my camper is great to cook with small pots. If you try to use a large fry pan or a pot that four people or more are eating out of then good luck. It either doesn't fit or the BTUs are too low to get the food hot,fast. I bought this because the BTUs are way better and you can fit normal size frying pans and pots on it. Its strong enough to cook with a large pot, but has the ability to cook on low temps too. I have a turkey fryer for the really big jobs but good luck trying to dial it down. It's usually either full blast or off. The Camp Chef is adjustable, strong when you need it or low when you don't want to burn stuff and can handle any size pot or pan. The legs seem pretty sturdy. It's very easy to set up. I will probably get the carry bag and the burner covers next. It will make it easier to carry and and the covers will keep the rain out of the burners.10/23/14 Used it to cook 7 lobsters in a big pot. It did the job, but just barely. If you have a really big job then your probably better off using the higher model that puts out 60,000 BTU per burner not 30,000. This works great for a dozen ear of corn or 4 or 5 pounds of pasta. I was asked about frying a turkey, we don't do much of that up here in New England, but I would probably go with the 60,000 to be safe.

Title: Great for Bluing a Wok
Review: A friend of mine recommended the Explorer and I'm so glad I listened for Bluing my Wok. Originally I had gotten an Iwantani 12,000 BTU butane burner but returned it because my friend said it wouldn't get hot enough to Blue my Wok. She was wrong in this because there are people who Blue their wok with 12,000 BTU, but it takes a lot longer. I timed how long it took to Blue using the Camp Chef Explorer 30,000 BTU burner. It took me 18 minutes. This is my first time Bluing a wok ever.When I was reading reviews for my wok, there was a reviewer who used 12,000-15,000 BTU and it took him 30-45 minutes. So using the Explorer, this really cut my Bluing time a lot. I made my first Wok stir fry just a few hours after seasoning my wok. The 30,000 BTU is awesome. It boils water really quickly. I didn't time it, but I don't even think it took it 10 minutes to boil 6-8 quarts of water from room temp.I'm not used to such high heat and I wasn't quite ready to put my noodles in the boiling water and then to my wok. Anyway, I am so highly pleased with this dual burner. It's totally awesome!!!Also, assembly was super easy. Just screw in the legs and put the wind guard up. It was easy to hook up to my propane tank. No issues. I easily set it up within a few minutes. Very awesome!!!So excited that I will be able to cook on this for years to come. And, if we ever go camping, we can bring this. Way cool!!! Great buy! Oh, lastly, I got a cover for this as I didn't want it exposed to the Arizona sun straight on.

Review: Excelente Calidad, muy fácil de ensamblar, fui de camping al mar y siempre fue un problema el viento con otras parrillas con esta no fue el caso, la llama es muy fuerte y los alimentos quedaban muy rápido, solo hay q leer bien las instrucciones, atrás de los reguladores o perillas tiene otros reguladores de oxÃgeno para que la llama tenga la mezcla correcta gas/oxÃgeno (dejar la flama lo más azul posible) y para el caso de México requiere un adaptador para el tanque de gas q compre aparte y no es muy costoso

Review: Es una buena estufa, es completamente rÃgida, pero se le pueden quitar las patas ya sea para uso sobre alguna superficie (considerarÃa una mesa o base de metal o concreto ya que emite bastante calor) tiene una buena flama, es fácil de encender y manejar. consideren que es un tanto pesada, por el material que está construida, pero es una buena opción como uso rudo o para hacer alguna comida al aire libre, tiene muy buen espacio para sartenes y ollas grandes. aún no la utilizo fuera, pero en cuanto la use en el campamento actualizaré la valoración.A primera prueba cumplió bastante con las expectativas.
